At least Chinese anime seems to be following a similar path as Chinese video games and is starting to gain a lot of traction in the West. To Be Hero X has become a pretty big mainstream hit and has potential to be "the Genshin Impact of Chinese animation"

This is definitely one of the shining examples this year. It is original, great animation, good story with a amazing English/Japanese/Chinese voice work. The other hyped Chinese donghua super cube had the same issue like many predecessors, poor pacing and poor dub.

IMO manhua in general just translates poorly into animation, especially those cultivation ones due to the insane length and repetiveness.

Lord of the Mysteries did really well too, even if I wasn't a fan of it, mostly though because it already had a built in audience from the web novel.

Sometimes too what foreigners like ain't exactly what Mainlanders like, since TBHX was critically panned in China.
